My commute is around 7 miles each way, but getting to work does involve going up a significant hill, and some other undulations. There is a slightly more indirect route with easier grade than the 20-30% that I normally take, which would ease the load on the motor, and probably add only about 1/2 mile, but I still think I would like a rooftop of solar cells to provide a topup while parked during the day. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
